Suniel Shetty shares a happy married life with his wife, Mana Shetty. In a recent interview, he spoke about how the idea of marriage has changed over the years. He said that relationships today often fail because people are not patient. He also shared his opinion that if the husband is focused on his career, the wife should mainly look after the children.Thoughts on today’s relationshipsSpeaking to Pinkvilla, Suniel said that young people today don’t have much patience. He explained that marriage needs time, compromise, and the ability to live for each other. Once a child is born, he believes the mother should take on the main role of caring for the child if the father is busy with work—though the father should also be involved. He pointed out that there is a lot of pressure in relationships nowadays.Too much advice and learning from familySuniel also said that these days, everyone wants to give advice—from how to raise a child to what to eat. He feels much of this advice comes from social media and the virtual world. He says “Everyone wants to give advice today. The virtual world tells you how to be a mother, how to be a father, what to eat, and what to do. I believe learning through experience is better, from your grandmother, mother, sisters, and in-laws. So keep what works for you and leave the rest. But a lot has changed. Now, people are getting divorced even before the wedding takes place.”A strong bond with Mana ShettyTalking about his own life, Suniel said he shares a very special bond with his wife, Mana. They got married in 1991. Their journey wasn’t always easy. Mana came from a different background, and at first, Suniel’s parents did not support their relationship. But despite the pressure and objections from others, he stayed firm and chose love over society’s expectations.Marriage despite early career strugglesSuniel shared that he decided to get married just after signing his first film. This was because of the constant love and support he got from Mana. Many people told him not to marry so early in his career, as they thought it might affect his popularity. But he didn’t let those opinions stop him—he chose to value his relationship more than outside advice.
